Overview[edit | edit source]
Suzuki SFV 650 Gladius Black Edition
Suzuki Gladius will be also available in
all-black color as the Suzuki GB has announced the new color for the current
UKs stock. The new all-black color will be an addition of the previous colors
(light blue/white, dark red/white and lime green/black).
Destined to those who just approach riding, the all-new Gladius not only impresses through the way it looks, but with the help of a low seat and a fuel-injected, twin plug head engine which is tuned for low-to-mid range torque,
Production costs were kept as low as possible and that implies a little bit of sacrifice on the weight chapter. For example, the trellis frame is made out of steel instead of aluminum.
Still, the name Suzuki says everything about the bikes performance and reliability even though, at a first glance, you have many chances to confuse it with an Italian naked.
A sporty and reliable 645 cc / 39.3 cu-incc, fuel-injected, DOHC, V-Twin engine was developed from the popular Suzuki SV650's powerplant, giving the Gladius a broad powerband with impressive low-range torque. Including Suzuki's advanced Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV) fuel injection system, Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Materials (SCEM) cylinder coating and automatic Idle Speed Control (ISC), the Gladius is fitted with a range of race-bred technology to enhance performance while reducing maintenance requirements and emissions.
Spring-preload adjustable front and rear suspension delivers a smooth ride with predictable handling, while the Gladius is fitted with front and rear disc brakes. The Gladius is designed for maximum comfort and practicality - combining well-balanced and sporty handling with low-speed manoeuvrability for everyday city use.
A comfortable, slim chassis features curved bodywork and distinctive styling, with bold color combinations between the bodywork and coloured steel tubing on the compact, trellis frame. With a stainless steel muffler cover, five-spoke aluminum-alloy wheels, a sleek 14.5-litre fuel tank and a distinctive multi-reflector headlight, the Suzuki Gladius has a unique, European-inspired look. Comfort is maximised by an upright riding position on the slim chassis' low and well-padded seat, in relation to tubular handlebars and footpegs.
